Thomas Meredith Neil M.D. ’34

Tom Meredith, a retired general surgeon who had lived at Hilton Head, S.C., since 1974, died there Nov. 17, 1996. He enjoyed retirement, he wrote, "boating, beaching, golf, and, last but not least, activity in and for the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Flotilla 10-11," of which, in 1982, he was elected commander.

Tom received his MD in 1938 from the U. of Pennsylvania's medical school. He interned at Pittsburgh's St. Francis Hospital and served his residency (193941) at Children's Hospital and Presbyterian Hospital, both in Pittsburgh. Called by the Army to active duty in 1941, he served for three years with the 27th General Hospital in Australia and New Guinea. He returned to private practice in Pittsburgh in 1946 and retired in 1971.

Tom was married in 1940 to "a wonderful woman," Helen Campe, a 1937 graduate of CarnegieMellon, who survives. Also surviving are two sons, Geoffrey E. '65 and Dr. Thomas S., and two grandchildren, Christopher and Leigh. To them we offer our sincere sympathies.
